Gardening? There’s an app for that

According to the “Garden Cuttings” newsletter, a new iPad app called Garden Plan Pro makes it possible to design the perfect vegetable garden in the most high-tech way. Garden Plan Pro is the easy way to draw vegetable beds, add plants and create the perfect layout for any space. Using an extensive database of plants and weather stations, it recommends the best planting dates for your area and can send email reminders of when to plant, based on your plans. Whether you plant in traditional rows, raised beds, or using the Square Foot Gardening method, it calculates exactly how many plants can fit into the space you have. Its intelligent features assist with crop rotation and make it simple to plan succession planting month-by-month to maximize your harvest. Garden Plan Pro, a truly ‘ground-breaking’ app, is now available on the Apple AppStore.
